Zune's are sick, I just got one and it is super cool. Soooo thats just my opinion. The screen on the zune is way bigger, and you're not paying an extra $50 for the ipod name.

itunes is fine. what more do you need. plus there are so many online programs that are only for iPod ie. iPodrip. They are pretty much the same price as all the others now and mine has broken once in 3 years of ownership and they replaced it with a video. what more could you ask for.

YES!

but you said you only heard bad things about ipods? i've have my 5th gen since the first week they came out and nothing has gone wrong with it(except it reset but no biggie)

but if you like the idea of a zune, they are pretty cool, just fucking huge! hold one up to an ipod and you'll see the huge difference

zune is the best out there. the 3day/play thing is now broken. you can take the drm off with a program so you can keep the songs. also they keep updating hte firmware to make it better. its very durable.
